Is my name... My day job is not a journalist. And I don't run a travel agency. I travel a tad more than an average person does, that's cos it's what I do for a living. For the time being at least. Envy me not cos the job glitz goes just as far as the does, in between, it's (*7%!#@@?). Just another job, that's what I mean. But I love it and I love it, and I'm grateful. Anyhow, welcome to my weblog. In here, you'll get, if not little, scanty info on my globetrots and travels. Do not expect detailed accounts, nor travel-guide type facts and figs. Just some idiot-proof, Info-Sharing-101, you could find handy if you're looking up destinations, I've been to, myself. Feel free to indulge, heed my advice, dump it, comment, pop your queries or judge me, for all you fancy. All info are true at point of publishing, unless stated otherwise. Hmmph, just one advice. I share cos I'm naturally nice like that, but I'm not always, always right. Don't say I didn't warn you.

So... As I have promised to update when I return from the UAE... here goes.
Schedule was tight, reception hospitable. Had a swell of a time. Wished the stay was longer though. Haha!
That really was how brief my stay in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Now... I'll let the pictures do the yaking...
only if you'ld click on "click here" from "I speak graphics."
So glad to have finally gotten my photos uploaded. Had it done the last time on a different image host, but I noticed it doesn't have a fool-proof system, that will prevent anyone from tampering with the image codes. So I had to start over with the uploading. Honestly, I'm not totally done yet, but I hope to finish it soon.
I can't believe just how quickly 3 days had passed since I return. Urgh...and the feeling right now is not exactly the best of all emotions. Cos it's going-back-to-work day, tomorrow. My plan was to give away my off days for flights but did not receive much of anything quite as attractive as I thought I could have gotten. So I thought of going away myself, for a short trip, but I remembered that I was going to use my free ticket during my leave, if all goes well that is(InsyaAllah). And had planned to bring Ma with me on my flight sometime soon, so no more tickets to spare. But I really do hope my plans will not bust this time. Am so needing a get-away. The assignment was like a mini get-away from my mundane routine and only God knows just how it had came in time, to save me from the perils of yet another DSS episode2! Alhamdulillah! Haha! Haiz...and 3 days of recuperating and late supper sessions with Ma, Aunt and Uncle, late sleeps (detrimental to expanding waistline...)...how could I even think about giving away my off days???...
I really want to be around some more...really!really!

Urs, and only Urs, truly, 3:46 PM...
